    good idea till you want till you want to be on ground level and attempt to take them off to get into your normal work boots and step in your bucket of PVA



    ive ordered a pair of stilts, should be a laugh learning to walk on them!

    gettin on and of them pretty easy. just confidence to walk about.just sussed that need to walk with wider stance.no good walking like your 5feet ten in stilts that make you 8feet. all good fun nearly ripped light fitting out before got bit giddy.reached out nearly ripped it out of ceiling.all good fun.

    Just make sure someones doing the mixing for you when your on stilts, doing your own mixing and all that bending can be soooooooooo painfull

    well my stilts arrived today! soon got used to them and seemed to get the hang of them quickly. tho i nearly went over a few times when walking on grass due to not lifting my leg more. quite strange duccking through doorways in the house. drinking beer while walking down steps seemed simple enough and i didnt spill a drop, sorted
